Episode: Billy Crystal - 'Standing Up, Falling Down'
Description: The legendary funny man reflects on how, as a teen, he was impacted by his father's sudden death; how a crushing disappointment as a standup actually paved the way for his TV and movie stardom, which, in turn, led to him hosting the Oscars more times than anyone except Bob Hope; and how it feels, at 72, to be garnering some of the best reviews of his career (for a non-comedic part, no less).
